M: ya, after the game we all poured into our cars and drove home to shoot off some fire works we didn’t want to walk the extra half-block to go into the big open field, so we decided that it would be fine to shoot them off in the neutral ground right under the power […]

My old landlord Louis Maistros directed me to this video on Mr. Okra – a man I dare say is a New Orleans institution. Well, maybe not New Orleans, but definitely a Quarter / Marigny / Bywater / 9th Ward institution. He’s like the ice cream man, but nowhere near as annoying or tooth-rotting. I […]

After my previous post about Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, my friend Matt directed me to the trailer for the upcoming film adaptation: Holy Simultaneously Grim and Necro, Batman. That aside, a certain shot caught my eye: That’s actual Katrina footage, dirtied up a bit to fit the über-post-apocalyptic setting of The Road. You can […]
